Seventeen years ago we were married. Said our vows, made a covenant, exchanged rings. I was young. I didn't know much. But I did love John, and I knew he loved me. I am so grateful that God allowed marriage (and motherhood) to stretch, convict, teach, and mold me into a more mature woman. One of the greatest things I have seen displayed in John is unconditional love. He cares for me beyond my expectations and is patient with my faults. John's best feature is his desire to follow Our Lord. We both agree that our love for each other grows deeper with each passing year, and that is attributed to God's amazing grace.
